He released his 1st album titled Paradise in 1998, and the next 3 followed quickly – Champs Elysées in 2000, III in 2003, and Western Dream in 2006. In-between those, he released his hit singles Love Generation (2005) in collaboration with Gary Pine, and World, Hold On (Children of the Sky) in 2006 featuring Steve Edwards, another well-known house music artist. In 2006, Bon Sinclar also won a TMF Award for “Best Dance International (Belgium)”, and a year later, on May 21, 2007, released his 4th album titled Soundz of Freedom.
